Public bug reported: After installing Postfix 3.1.4, email delivery to Dovecot stops working. In the Postfix log, I get:

It looks like the smtp binary might act differently based on if it is called as "smtp" or "lmtp". ** Affects: postfix (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1654453 Title: LMTP delivery to Dovecot stops working in 3.1.4-1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postfix/+bug/1654453/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
